Speaking about transfers this week, Liverpool boss Arne Slot said that the club would be open to bridging more players in if the right opportunity arises between now and the end of the window.
Slot
I’ve always said that having two for each position is ideal but I prefer less than more because then you have to disappoint so many players every time and they’re not even in the squad, let alone playing,”
“As always, if we think we can improve in a certain position and there’s a player available who can really make us better – which you could see with Giovanni Leoni – then this club has always shown that they can bring these players in,
“But only if things are right – the right transfer fee, the right player, the right position, and a player who wants to come to us.”
